Report

Your report will compare two attractions (the winner from the meeting and the one you presented)

My attractions: Canadian Museum for Human Rights. https://humanrights.ca/

There are 3 reasons that I have chosen the Canadian Museum for Human Rights: affordable price, good location and several exhibitions suitable for couples aged between 25 and 30. First of all, the ticket price is very cheap that around $20 including tax for 1 person. Second, it's located downtown near the hotel 2 mins driving and available parking lots. Moreover, it is close to the Fork, which is one of the most famous market attractions in Winnipeg. On the other hand, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights tells a unique story in the diverse world of human rights. And like the world of human rights, exhibitions are always changing. So be sure to visit before they’re gone. There are 2 permanent exhibitions, and 1 seasonal is happening at this time. -Truth and Reconciliation: For over a century, the Indian Residential School system in Canada violated the rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis children. Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established in 2008 to contribute to truth, healing and reconciliation. -Galleries: Museum exhibits strive to connect each visitor to human rights. The Museum’s 10 core galleries contain diverse stories, from Canada and around the world, relayed through interactive presentation, multimedia technology and world‐class design. An amazing encounter with human rights awaits! -ARTiculate Our Rights (July 30,2021 - June 30,2022): In this vibrant art exhibition, Manitoba youth express their views about human rights for themselves, their families and their communities. Their thought‐provoking artwork covers a range of issues that impact us all. I believe Canadian Museum for Human Rights is a great tourist destination which is suitable for our target market.

About: Large Museum explaining human rights within Canada and around the world, it is a good place to learn about the world. Opened 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and closed on Sunday and Monday
